Which may have been true in 1970s, today I get told in emails to pass over White and Asian candidates because we need more diversity. The sheer hubris of putting racism in writing makes me feel like I'm in a topsy turvy 1950s.
- jimbokun 3y agoYeah, it's especially confusing trying to understand how it's the Asians fault, too.
- ajsnigrutin 3y agoYep, on one hand, concetration camps in US for japanese people not that long ago, and now discriminated against when applying for college...
- noisy_boy 3y agoIt is true in 2024 also, just that you have to choose a location different from US; go to Southeast Asia to see it in action everyday, where everyone is extra nice to white people - sales people are extra polite, people laugh extra hard at everything white people say, the lady at the counter pays first attention to white people among the group of folks waiting and so on. I have heard white people say "I loved the experience, everyone was so nice"... Of course it was, of course they were. To be fair, there are flip sides to this too e.g white folks are more likely to be overcharged, more likely to be subject of scams etc but that's just the other side of the same coin.
- llm_trw 3y agoSo in South East Asia they are nice to minorities? That's nice.
